MAY 2.?Judge ?uderwood issued to-day a i
Writ of habeas corpus directing tho command
ing officer of Fortress Monroe to bring Mr.
Davis before him on . the 13th. The writ was ]
obtained by Judge Shea. It is understood that
the writ will bo obeyed, and that Mr. Davis
will not bo' remanded to tho military custody.
May 3. Judge Underwood? District Attor
ney Chandler, and Mr. Davis' Attorney, O'Con
nor, are in the city for tho purpose o? con
sulting Attorney-General Stanberry regarding
%ho writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Davis. If
the Government obeys tho writ, which is prob
able, bail will he tendered and tho prisoner
enlarged.
The Hon. R. J. Walker addressed the Su
preme Court to-day in a speech of three hour?
duration, which is considered a masterly effort.
Ho said that constitutional liberty and self
government we're 4iow on final trial, and it was
about to be decided for posterity in all the
worh^ylifethbr writtcu constitutions were parch
ment scrolls, words written in sand, to be
swept away by the first angry surge of popular
passion, whether they can bte evaded by tech
nical issues or plea of want of jurisdiction.
A broader bill of attainder and pains and pen
alties had never been passed, reducing 10,000,
000 of loyal and disloyal people to territorial
. bondage^ and substituting the gleaming sword
and bristling bayonet for constitutional guards
and courts of law.
The case was continued uutil Monday, when
Attorney-General Stauberry will reply.
May 6.?Attorney-General Stanberry closed
his argument in the injunction cases. He
sjtoko as to the general principle denying the
jurisdiction of tho Court, no basis by which re
lief could be given. Only two out of ten
States affected were here. Eight were content.
The Attorney-General said that the Su
preme Court might so act as to induce Con
gress to destroy the efficiency of the Court,
by impeaching Judges on false accusations, or
by denying the salaries required for their sup
port- It rested with tho people to secure hon
esty in the Legislature, and to this basis we
' must look for the preservation of rights of citi
zenship and tho integrity of the State Courts.
The Court then adjourned.
Tho TJse of the Ballot.
Governor Orr,.of South Carolina, lins just
made a speech to a number of the new citizens
"of his State. In his capacity as G ovcrnor he
was expected to advise these political neo
phytes as to the proper course for them to pur
?tmc?to imbue them with the knowledge he had
gained during a persistent course of office
holding statesmanship, and to instruct them in
the art of vot ing. To such a source the inquisi
tive enfranchised ought not to loots in vain for
illumination. Surely, if any one is capable of
throwing light on such a subject, it is a gentle
man who has illustrated in his own history the
workings of the ballot-box, and who has mau
aged to got elected to a great many important
offices, without possessing any superfluous
quantity of merit The newly invented citi
zens of South Carolina must certainly entertain
a high appreciation of the powers of the elec
tive franchise when they Gnd what it has done
for Governor Orr; just as in this State, they
must have gained an exalted notion of its effi
cacy by observing what it effected for the gen
tlemen who were elected to office in 18GI.
Hence, it is not surprising that the colored
voters of South Carolina applied to Governor
Orr for instruction before deciding on their
future political course.
We have only a brief telegraphic synopsis of
the remarks which the Governor addressed to
Iiis fellow-citizens on this important occasion,
and, therefore, wo arc precluded from laying
boforc.Our readers tho whole of his speech.
That is a luxury which they have yet in anti
cipation. But it is gratifying to know that we
nro notlcft entirely ignorant of the Governor's
views. When we have becu informed of the
main point of his programme, it is, perhaps,
superfluous to inquiro for more. Indeed, his
plan is so comprehensive, and yet so simple ; so
efficacious, and yet so intclligiblo, that we only
wonder that nobody ever thought of it before;
and should esteem it almost an impertinence to
ask for arguments in its favor. In reply to tho
momentous questions, "What shall wc do?"
pr} in other words, "How shall wc vote?" ho
inform:' the colored people that the best thing
for them to do is not to vote at alL He tells
them that they must not attach themselves to
cither of the two parties now disputing for su
premacy iu tho country; that they must avoid
the Republican party as a sham and a humbug,
and the Democratic party as a dolusion and a
snare, and wait to join tho groat party which
is to contpriso the peoplo of both races in the
South, and everybody at tho North. Of course,
nobody will deny that such a party would not
bo only powerful, hut invincible; nor would
anybody bo guilty of tho fatuity of opposing a
party which is to include everybody. Hence
we must concede that the- Governor's ndyico
was eminently sagacious and sound. But it
Would, no doubt, havo been very ngreeablo to
his hearers to be told when this political mil
lenium is to commence; when this political
happy family is tobe organised; when the Re
publican lion and tbc Democratic lamb arc to
lie down togotber, and abovo all, of what par
ticular U80 it would bo,for anybody to vote,
just at that time, when votes shall have become
altogether unnecessary and superfluous. In
tins point of view tho suggestions of Governor
Orr do not aocin to bo vory practical. The
nowly enfranchised citizens ask for light on the
political questions of tho day, and ho replies
by blowing out tho lamp of knowledge. They
want to know how thoy shall vote as between
tho two great parties, and ho tells them to vote
with neither tho ono nor tho other. Thoy ask
to what party thoy shall then ally themselves,
and ho answers -'to that party which shall arise
when there aro no longer any parties." The
inference from all of which is that tho ques
tions now heforo the country arc of no particu
lar moment; and that tho only use ot the bal
lot at presont is. to elect Governor Orr, and
such like, to be Senators and members of Con
gress.?A7". O. Crescent, May 3.
THE ORANGEB?RG NEWS.
SATURDA Y, MAY 11,1867.
While we reserve to ourselves the right of defi
ning our own. politicalposition by means of our
editorial columns, tec will be pleased to publish
contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the
grave questions which now agitate the public
mind, whether their opinions coincide tcith ours
or not. A district newspaper, we consider,
should be an index of the various shades of pop
ular sentiment in the section of country in which j
it circulates. Our columns arc open, therefore,
for any communications properly written, accom
panied by a responsible name, not. personal in
their character," nor absolutely injurious in their
tendency.
District Destitution.
The cry is going forth from all sections of
our State,?"Clivc us bread, or wc die." This
unparalcllcd state of distress, which exists in
some Districts to such an extent as to bring
many to the verge of starvation, calls for the
earnest efforts of those who can, to alleviate the
misery of their fellow creatures, especially when
they are their neighbors, and perhaps the wives
and children of those who stood side by side
with them in trying hours of danger. Orange
hurg is not as destitute as some other portions
>f.thc State, it is true; but it is getting worse
and worse every day with us, and unless active,
vell-dirccted efforts are put forth, the murmur
of starvation, now beginning to arise in our
midst, will gather into a loud and heart-rend
ing wail of human anguish.
Under these circumstances, what is to be
done, to avert this impending calamity ? .Vic
think that much can be accomplished by sys
tematistng charity. "We. uro glad to ^^ipagfofr i
served the appointment of a committee *^^bWW
zens at this place, for the purpose of collecting
and dispersing District contributions, and
we are confident that when they make a
report of their labors, it will be seen that
much good h;us been thus done to the
suffering poor. "Wc would suggest it as a
good plan, to have similar committees in every
Beat throughout the District, to ascertain the
names of those who are really destitute, and to
collect contributions from those who arc in more
favored circumstances. In this way, each
Beat can in a measure relieve its own distress,
and its Committee can then report to a Com
mittee at this place, what they are unable to do
of themselves, and the names of all the really
destitute among them, so that further relict
can bo extended. This will obviate two evils
of the present system of a single Central Com
mittee : First, that they arc sometimes liable
to imposition, and distribute to those who make
the most pitiful representations, hut arc not
the most needy^ Ln reality ; and secondly, that
they may occasionally be led to withhold assist
ance from those really necessitous, on account
of malicious reports of parties, attempting to
wreak some private grudge, or gratify some
petty spite.
In making these suggestions, wc do not de
sire to east any reflection on ti good judge
ment or commendable efforts of the present
Central Committee to do good. There is no
doubt that thoy arc discharging their duty to
the best of their abitity, and that they are fully
competent to this noble work : but how much
could their good purposes be assisted, had they
the co-operation of Boat Committees, such as we
have above suggested.

"South Carolina a Home for tho Indus
trious Immigrant."
This is the title of a neat and attractive pam
phlet, published under the direction of Gen.
Wagoner. Commissioner of Immigration, and
intended for circulation abroad, in the view of
inducing industrious foreigners to turn their
course towards our State, in coming to nook
their fortunos in tho New World.
The pamphlet is well calculated to sot forth
fairly and candidly tho advantages offered
now by this State to all who sock a homo with
in her borders : and concludes with a list of a
number of tracts of land oficred on liberal
terms, to new settlers.
Wc were sorry to find that while all our sis
ter Districts were represented, there was not a
single aero of Orangeburg laud offorcd
world. When we consider that this pamphlel
is to bo translated into foreign languages, 'add
to be circulated abroad, wo regret that so fine
an opportunity of advertising their lands has
been neglected by our largo landholders,' who,
in many instances, we know to bo desirous of
selling. Tho offer of Gen. Wagoner to pub
jj8i'-rt.bisjgratuitous advertisement was duly in
serted in our c\?.1umn8' and ?PP?*?* ?n'.two
issues, several weeks ago. ^
Even now, it is not too l?tc for !*W d9s*'
ing to sell real Estate, to havo lllc',r ,a?7?
registered upon tho -books of the Bureau hi
Immigration in Charleston,so that any desiring
to invest iu real property may become acquaint
ed with thojr terms of sale, and some good bar
gains may be made in this way; '
' tmt ?
Wo clip tho following from tho Dnntfury
(Connecticut) Times, of tho 2d inst. As 'it
shows public Sentiment in that State, wc pub
lish it for the benefit of our readers:
"The Firemen of Charleston, S. C. held a
parade on Saturday. Previous to starting, it
was discovered that an American flag was not
in the procession, whereupon Gen. Sickles
ordered that one bo placed in the front, and
attended by a guard of honor, and at the re
view should occupy a place before the stand,
and he saluted by every one passing it. Gcsier's
order was obeyed, and with a cheerful alacrity
that will probably encourage him to suspend
his shirt nest."

The following is the oath required of Mutia

South Carolina in tho Richmond
Bazaar.
The following from the Enquirer <(? Sentinel
of Saturday is the first notice we have of South
Carolina to the Memorial Bazaar at Richmond:
THE PAT.MKTTO TttKK,
the emblem of South Carolina, next attracts
our attention displayed upon the State shield
and accompanied by the motto 11 Dum Spiro
Sjirro." The tree is formed of palmetto leaves
and the canopy of tho table is wreathed with
similar leaves and garlanded with grey moss.
Vases of flowers, bright and odorous, are scat
tered over the booth in rich profusion, setting
off to fine advantage the numerous elegant
articles, all of which we are informed are to
be had for a dollar, this being a prize table.
A toilet set of Bohemian glass, some elegant
perfumery flacons, a bridal toilet box of white
silk and a rich jewelry case are donations from
South Carolina, as are also sonic other articles;
but the most of the articles here displayed arc
contributions from Richmond. A fine picture
of a young girl, a fancy sketch, is also the
handiwork and offering of a young South
Carolina lady, and some very pretty artificial
work, tastily' encircled with shell-work, arc the
products of one of Carolina's fair and faithful
daughters. A pair of screens, beautifully em
broidered iu beads and worsted, will attract the
attention of the ladies and are presents from
Mrs. Gilmour, formerly of Richmond, but now
residing in England ; and an elegant Canton
crape shawl, valued at 8100, is also a donation
from England. A pair of richly embroidered
sofa cushions aro a present from Charleston,
and are worth more than a passing notice.
Our Charleston Letter.
Charleston, May 8,1867.
About fifteen hundred negroes and two hun
dred white persons?the former generally en
thusiastic, while most of the latter were sim
ply curious?assembled on the Citadel Green,
on last Friday afternoon, as auditors of the
Great Republican Apostle, Senator Wilson.
Dr. A. G, Mackey,.whoso political notoriety is
not hounded by tho city limits, presided at the
mooting, and after praynr by tho Rev. Ran
dolph (colored,) introduced the Honorable
Orator to his audionce. On the platform were
representatives of both races and all parties ;
the Radical olonicnt naturally predominating.
The Senator's speech, which consumed about
an hour and a half, was, throughout, intensely
partisan and illiberal, and. on that nccottnt, 1
doubt not, acceptable to tho majority of tho
large concourse. He disinterred issues long
dead and buried, reviewed the history of South
Carolina, and arraigned the bid State and the
principles advocated by her groat men during
tho past fifty years, beforo his tribunal of sublo
judges, whose cultivated minds and'impartially
trained moral sense fitted them, as he doubtless
thought, to decide equitably upon the merits of
the questions discussed. He avowed himself
as opposed to nny antagonism of tho races
South, and yet insidiously disseminated opinions
and Hontimcntfl, whose natural harvest would
be i*1"",conc,*cn^*c dissension. And his seed
?*n stony ground, for most of
was nou sown up- J ? ' .

'??bicct of
South Carolina of the psist wan aD
deserved contumely and repudiation, ana M**1'
her present and future could only be redeemed
by a close affiliation with tho doctrines of Radi
calism.
In the evening, at Hibernian Hall, ho again
delivered himself to a large congregation of |
freedmcn and their parasites. As. his entire
audience on this occasion was supposed to be
altogether Radical in their views, he, after re
peating his afternoon discourse, devoted him
self to advising in regard to the approaching
registration and the Convention elections. His
course was not at all moderate or conciliatory in
character; in fact I have heard the address
characterized as an intensely inflammatory har
auguc. _ How much the work of reconstruct
ing is stimulated by such honest and peaceful
missionaries, and to what extent a spirit of har
mony is fostered by satire and vituperation.
Senator Wilson and his magnanimous people
may be able to calculate. We can hope for no
favorable results to follow this novel mode of |
peace-making.
The negroes have not availed themselves as
generally as was anticipated, of the privilege of
riding in the street cars, conceded to them last
week. On Sunday afternoon, they crowded
every car, and in dense masses rode to and
from the Battery until dark; but since then,
comparatively few have been seen riding.
.Many of our white citizens have, fur the pre
sent, withdrawn their patronage frum the com
pany, but is probable that in a mouth or two, most
of the gentlemen who were formerly guests of |
Mr. Rigg's conductors, will renew their uld re
lations. The omission of the.company to make
special provision originally for the freedmen.
has been, by many, severely censured, as ren

tive arrangement would have been satisfactory
to the negroes or their advisers, and as their
right to ride with the whites would have been
ultimately conceded and enforced by the ''pow
ers that be.'* 1 dont know that the animadver
sion is merited. Special cars might have tem
porarily suffered, but the abrogation of all re
strictive regulations was in the end inevita
ble.
The Union Republican Party of the State is
now in Convention here. Their meetings arc
lield at Military Hall. Delegates arc in atten
dance from only six or seven Districts, and the
present effort to fully organize the party will
boa failure. The President of the Convention
is a negro ; among the V ice-Presidents. Epp
ing, the United States Marshal, holds a con
spicuous position. One of the Secretaries is
Ruht, .fames, formerly a printer here; now
having swallowed and digested the Test Oath,
an officer in the Custom House. Roth, no
doubt, feel highly complimented.
A panorama of Ireland, yrlrjyt "Hibcrni

is well patronized by tho Fenians and their
friends. Every night the hall has been crowd*
cd, and each allusion made by the lecturer to
poor Ireland and her wrongs, has been boister
ously applauded. Fcninnism, though at pre
sent dormant, is not dead. The sons of Green
Krin seen determined never to harmonize with
old England, and many, in the face of repeated
failures to organize a successful rebellion, still
persistently cling to the anticipation of wit
nessing the emancipation of their father-land
from the British yoke, "f is pleasant to be vic

acquitted, but (baring- the military anthoriticj,
he left, and on the 4th tust., reached this city,

therefore persuaded to take boarding iu the

were called in. but their efforts were ineffectual
to save him. lie died at four o'clock yester
day morning. The Coroner was called upon

had taken a large amount of morphine, and
some of the drug was fouud in his pocket. A
bottle of prussic acid was found in his trunk
unopened. Clewcll had talked to his friend
about killing himself, aud showed him a fare
